@ srmmmm: I think I owe you a beer!





How the hell does water get into that connection?! Does it come down the inside of the insulation bundle? There is a tight rubber boot that was filled with water?

When I'm done cleaning I'm going to fill the boot with silicone and maybe cut a drip hole in the insulation sleeve especially if I can confirm the wire bundle is working like a hose to supply water to the connector!

When watching the real-time values on the transmission switch pins I was surprised to see closed switches when they should be open and that wouldn't happen from a corroded contact inside the selector switch.

Rusty water however is slightly conductive so I'm pretty confident my problem was just found. I wish I took video of removing that connector! About half an oz. or more of red colored water peed out!
